Atlas White Portland Cement for Terrazzo Floors 


1. The Atlas Portland Cement Company manufactures Portland cement in two colors, 
gray and white. 


2. The strength, durability and wearing qualities of these two products are identical. 
Both are guaranteed to pass the Standard Specifications for Portland cement as 
adopted by the American Society for Testing Materials. 


3. White Portland cement makes possible an entirely new range of colors in terrazze, 
either when used clear or with pigments. 


my a : : 
4. ‘Terrazzo floors of Atlas White Portland Cement will not change color, even under 
the severest conditions. 


5. The cost of making terrazzo with white Atlas Portland Cement is but little more 
than the cost of producing it with gray Portland cement.

ATLAS WHITE PORTLAND CEMENT 


“Pure WHITE and with all the strength of gray Portland cement.” 


We are manufacturers of Portland cement of two colors, gray and white. Both of these conform in every 
way with the Standard Specifications for Portland Cement of the American Society for Testing Materials and 


A. 1. A. FILE No. 22-E-1 


TERIRAZZO—ATLAS WHITE PORTLAND CEMENT 


adopted by the U. S. Government, the American Institute of Architects, American Society of Civil Engineers 


and similar bodies. 


Because of the pure white color of white Atlas Portland Cement it is used wherever the gray Atlas Port- 


land cement does not give the desired color effect. 


Atlas White Portland Cement can be used for any work for which gray Portland cement is suitable, 
because it gives equal strength, equal wear and equal durability. 

The use of white Atlas Portland Cement results in a mortar which will not stain fine textured stone such 
as Indiana Limestone, marble and similar stones which might be stained by mortar made with gray Portland 


cement. 


Among the established uses of Atlas White Portland Cement are:— 


For its color 


Stucco—Makes possible a great variety of shades 
and tints because of neutrality of color. It is 
colored by mixing directly with a sand of the proper 
color or by pigments. 


Brick, Terra Cotta or Tile Joints—Gives either 
a pure white mortar to contrast with the color of 
the material or a tinted joint to blend with the 
tonal value of the brick or terra cotta. It is colored 
by mixing directly with a sand of the proper color 
or by pigments, 

Cast Stone, Trim and Garden Furniture—Gives 


white or colored effects where gray cement color 
would be dead and uninteresting. 


Terrazzo—Makes possible an entirely new and 
attractive range of color effects. Will not soil and 


has the same wearing qualities as gray Portland 
Cement. 


Swimming Pools—Used either with white sand 
or sometimes tinted as a plaster for lining swim- 
ming pools. Also used to pour the exterior walls 
to give a white effect directly. 


Interior Plastering—For interior plastering it 
gives all the range of colors and with textured walls, 
the strength necessary to give good wearing quality. 


It is unaffected by moisture and therefore also 
used for dairies, cold storage rooms and laboratories. 


For its non-staining qualities 


Pointing, Setting and Backing Limestone. Widely 
used for setting Indiana Limestone, marble and 
similar stone. Gives the strongest possible non- 
staining mortar.
